Krista Vivian takes a selfie after she completes her last paddle in Lake Ontario.
Krista Vivian of Ayr, Ont., completed 40 paddles in 40 different bodies of water to celebrate her 40th year of life. The challenge took her across southern Ontario.Krista Vivian wanted to give herself a challenge to mark her 40th birthday, so the Ayr, Ont., woman decided to paddle in 40 different bodies of water.
"I thought it was really cool," she said. "I thought it would be a really interesting process to try and figure out."Her first paddle was on April 18 in the Nith River, which runs through Brant, Oxford, and Perth counties.According to Vivian's rules, each paddle had to be at least 15 minutes long, and the name of the water body had to be mapped.
"The hardest thing was still making sure my family had an awesome summer," she said. "My husband was with me on every paddle, not always paddling but always at the pickup and drop off points." Vivian was familiar with the area and felt confident that day. Unfortunately, she ended up travelling in the wrong direction down the river.
